    She was believed to be the oldest whale in the Southern Resident Killer Whale community. The Center for Whale Research, who estimates her birth year as 1910, designated her K7. She was given the name “Lummi” through The Whale Museum’s Orca Adoption Program. Lummi was a great-great grandmother – the leader of a five-generation intact family.

    If the school district could somehow figure out a way to franchise Sharon Sandwith and Donna Smith, its financial woes might be over. San Juan Island School Board President Boyd Pratt did some figuring, and determined that the two served 1.4 million meals — including 32 tons of hamburger, 39,600 heads of lettuce and 5,200 sheetcakes — to 23,400 students over the course of their food service careers at Friday Harbor High School. Oh, and they gave a total of 756,000 hugs too. Try and top that, Ray Kroc.

    Auditor Milene Henley told the County Council on Tuesday that the county will have $1 million less in revenue to spend next year. Henley said decreases in sales tax revenue, a reduction in new construction and an anticipated lower collection rate for property taxes will probably cause year-end total revenues for 2008 to fall short of revenues projected in the 2008 budget.
